Countdown to a big day--and a giveaway!

Hello, bloggers! It's pure madness in our household with our daughter's wedding just a few weeks away. There's much to do, especially since she's thousands of miles away and we're all trying to help as much as we can to make this a memorable day for her and her fiancé.

Here's a shot of the favors that we finished a few days ago. Organza bag, two ribbon roses and inside, some yummy shortbread cookies, a specialty from Hilo.

Blogging will have to take a backseat since I have major cleaning to do, which means packing up my stamp supplies and putting them in hibernation for a while.

And while I was cleaning, I came upon goodies that I'd love to give away as a "thank you" to my faithful friends and followers for your timely visits to my blog and your kind comments, too.

Fiskars threading water border punch, American Crafts Thickers, Sassafras stitchery stamp set, Lawn Fawn Lunar Lights, Lawn Fawn Winter Bunny, Greeting Farm Yoga Anya, American Crafts ribbon and ric rac, Making Memories 8x8" specialty paper packs, K&Company heart shaped gemstones, Prima white roses

Simply become a follower of my blog, if you're not already, and leave me a comment. And I'll ship internationally, too! I'll leave this giveaway open until midnight March 30th HST and random.org will help me choose a winner. I hope it's YOU! Good luck!

Regarding the recent earthquake generated tsunami, I want to thank those of you who emailed and FB'd me with your concern. I live on higher ground, and only if there was a monstrous wall of water were we in any danger.

Some islands did receive damage--a house was swept into the ocean--but I believe there was no actual loss of life. Let's continue to pray for Japan and anyone else who was affected, and hope that they restore and rebuild their country and their lives. ♥
